The Fish Seller and the Prodigal Lord - A. Introduction
I was a fish seller who dragged her gambling father into court and made a spectacle of herself before the whole town.
The second young master of the Marquis of Ning’an’s household, a man devoted to drink, women, and gambling, bought me on the spot for a hundred taels. Then I took another hundred from his mother and agreed to leave him.
He came staggering over, drunk. “I hear you sold me?”
Yet that same dissolute young master later took up his books and vowed to earn a place in office, all so he could spend his life with me.
Little by little, though, I discovered the Rong family’s unspeakable secret.
The eldest Rong daughter, born to a concubine, looked at Second Master Rong in a way that wasn’t ordinary.
And it nearly cost me my life.
